I’ve got political opinions on all sorts of things. Some of them may even be occasionally correct.

Trump says he doesn't want war with Iran, but that's exactly what he wants, because that's exactly what Saudi Arabia, Netanyahu, al-Qaeda, Bolton, Haley, and other NeoCons/NeoLibs want. That’s what he put first--not America.

Available evidence doesn’t support Sen. Mike Lee’s assertion that Vance Boelter was driven to attack Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota because of his “Marxist” ideology. People who knew Boelter said he was politically right-leaning. buff.ly/goyoIoc

I think the Democratic Party should consider pulling their Presidential primary timeline up so they can hash out a direction for the Party before ‘28.

After the Atlantic published the texts this morning, Tulsi Gabbard is confronted today on why she lied in her testimony to the Senate yesterday. She says she misremembered.

Remember when the collective right lost its mind about Obama wearing a tan suit.

Dems need to show they can govern, not talk down to voters, stick up for the rights of Americans being discriminated against, and accept that ideological purity isn’t a winning formula. Be the grown ups, embrace the middle, and protect the little guy.

Let me get this right, the faction of the party most responsible for us being in the minority wants to punish a responsible leader for making the best of the bad choices given the position they helped put him in? politico.com/news/2025/03/15…

USAID purchases $2 billion of ag products annually from US farmers…
After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID. The 5200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States. In consultation with Congress, we intend for the remaining 18% of programs we are keeping (approximately 1000) to now be administered more effectively under the State Department. Thank you to DOGE and our hardworking staff who worked very long hours to achieve this overdue and historic reform.

What do doctors know. If you really need medical advice try a 1960’s sitcom.
Watch entire video. They used to have measles parties, basically get all the kids together so they all catch it and develop immunity. Then when I was a kid, they did the same thing with chicken pox. Now, they demonize parents who refuse to vaccinate their kids.

My guess is that “a while” will be approximately 4 years.
Mike Johnson: "We're transitioning from Bidenomics and the terrible economy that was delivered by the last administration. It takes a while to turn that ship around."

Remember when @KamalaHarris suggested we go after price gouging on groceries and it became a communist conspiracy 🙄…politico.com/news/2025/03/07…
